I have 3 accounts and I only really setup rules on the INBOX of each account. That is my organization around rules; I have "work email" rules and "personal email" rules. I don't set Conditions or Submailboxes. I suppose you create rules at some global level and then use the Conditions to say where to apply the rules...

I only create Rules, which are applied to every new email in that inbox, when the email arrives (that is the default behavior of how rules work).

Here are my rules for my personal account, to organize my email into folders: https://files.asktherelic.com/20180119-0933-d8dzq.png

And the rule for this mailing list looks like: https://files.asktherelic.com/20180119-0935-2zzqp.png

When you are testing rules, you can go to the menu Mailbox > Apply Rules of "INBOX" and force the rules to run again. I do this when my rules don't seem to be trigger.

Cheers

Is there a more detailed manual somewhere? I can't figure out seemingly basic stuff. Right now I'm trying to configure rules and I see Conditions, Submailboxes, and Rules. I'm guessing Submailboxes lets you create default rules for either moving mail or virtual mailboxes, but I haven't tried it. However, what is the difference between the Conditions section and the conditions created in the Rules section?

Also, what are the various specifiers for rule conditions (e.g., 'Received' has six, one of which has two sub ones)? I've been picking "No Specifier" but would like to what what they are.
